As someone who grew up in Edinburgh as the son of a publican, and later spent nearly two decades designing motion for global brands in London, it feels fitting that returning home would lead me back into the drinks world.

​

This film imagines a surreal origin story for Edinburgh Gin — a creative exploration of how flavour, craft and botanicals might form a world of their own. Crafted as a speculative short, it’s designed to show how immersive 3D storytelling can capture an audience’s attention in a fresh and imaginative way.

​

By exploring the flavours, atmosphere and essence of Edinburgh Gin, the piece demonstrates how a brand can be brought to life through cinematic world-building that feels both engaging and memorable. The approach is endlessly adaptable: whether it’s a different product universe, a new mood or an entirely original scene, this style of motion design allows any brand to tell its story with real impact.

​

With cinematic lighting, an atmospheric score, detailed 3D worldbuilding and premium product animation, the film transforms botanicals into a living, breathing universe — Botanicals, reimagined.
